Revision by ÁgathaIn the first paragraph, I think you can change the last sentence. When I read aloud, the repetition of the word 'way' isn't good, even one in the beginning and another in the final of the sentence. In the first sentence of the last paragraph, I think can be a comma, not dot. And after 'sensitivy' there is a comma. Separate it of the next word ;)
